        • Alternate versions
          UK version is cut by 2 sec. to secure a PG rating. Removed was the sight of dangerous imitable technique (double ear clap). An uncut 15 rating was available to the distributor.

        Recommended to my fellow Americans

        Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer made it big on the American screen with their performances as Trinity and Bambino in the two popular spaghetti westerns in the early Seventies. Unfortunately their other comic adventure movies never seemed to go over big on this side of the pond. I only discovered Mr. Hill and Mr. Spencer other film work when I was working overseas in Saudi Arabia. I have recently been watching more of their movies that are available on youtube and are dubbed in English. "Crime Busters" is one of the very best. The violence is very much in the vein of the Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers; slapstick all the way and without any blood. I highly recommend this film top my fellow Americans who may not be aware of the marvelous movies of these two Italian actors: Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer.
